Fallout 76 News

On Tuesday, March 18 at 10am ET/9am CT, Fallout 76 is being brought offline on all platforms to apply the Ghoul Within update.

For server status updates, keep an eye on our Bethesda.net Status Portal.

Let’s ghoulify Appalachia.

Season 20: Glow of the Ghoul starts March 18, timed perfectly to arrive with Ghoul Within, Fallout’s next major update, which is bringing all the Vault-dweller ghouls to the Wasteland.

Glow of the Ghoul is all about the Ghouls. This theme is for the mutated, the irradiated, the glowing and the feral of the wasteland. Even if you’re not going the way of the ghoul, be sure to decorate your C.A.M.P. in the most radiation-ridden and dilapidated way to make all your ghoulfriends feel at home. Toxic waste looks good in any C.A.M.P.

We've got the trailer for the upcoming season below:

What’s coming up in Glow of the Ghoul? Here’s the season calendar:


Ghoulish Rewards

On March 18, when both Season 20 and Ghoul Within are live, you will be able to turn into a ghoul. But wait, there’s more than just looking irradiated to being a ghoul. You’ll also want to remodel your C.A.M.P. and give it the gooey radiation-y vibe that every wasteland palace deserves.

By the way, if you don’t have a current Fallout 1st Membership, you can always get a Seasons Pass for access to Fallout 1st rewards.

Getting ready to transform into a ghoul? Check out our Official Guide to Being a Ghoul, featuring a welcome video by T0nik.


Remember, Glow of the Ghoul begins March 18 alongside the next major update, Ghoul Within.

February 18 is the first day of Fasnacht.

You know what that means: It’s time to don ye festive Fasnacht masks and parade through the streets of Helvetia. Fasnacht runs from February 18 to March 4.

At the top of the hour, every hour, the Fasnacht public event will pop up on your map. Navigate your way to Helvetia and speak to the Master of Ceremonies—the Mister Handy-in-charge.

With your fellow Wastelanders, complete any tasks assigned to you by the Protectrons. You’ll do everything from save the bees to play instruments or add wood to the bonfire. Once five robots are ready to go, the parade will kick off.

Your next job is to be the security detail for the bots as they celebrate. Completing the event will earn you the “Masked” prefix for your character title, a chance at the “Glowing” prefix, net you a Fasnacht mask and other flowery rewards.

New Masks and Rewards



Pictured above are three new Glowing Fasnacht masks. From left to right, we have Big Foot; the famous horned rabbit, also known as the Jackalope; all the way to Veggie Man.



For your C.A.M.P.s, you can earn flower and plant box decorations that are sure to delight your guests. This Jackalope-masked Wastelander is fond of the Rhododendron Flower Boxes. You can also earn Soot Flower, Aster, Mutated Fern and Ash Rose Boxes. All these decorative C.A.M.P. flower boxes also come in Flowering versions that feature fluttering butterflies.

Some people believe love is an art, but it’s actually a science.

Love is an uncomplicated emotion that is always predictable and quantifiable. And yet, somehow, blinding. This February, learn everything there is to know about that famous chemical reaction called love.



The Science of Love is a new Seasonal Challenge Event that begins on February 4 at 12PM ET and runs until February 18 at 12PM ET. Over the two weeks that The Science of Love is active, you’ll complete Challenges to earn S.C.O.R.E. and some handy consumables like Lunchboxes, Perk Card Packs and Basic Repair Kits. Because you, Wastelander, are studying to be a Doctor of Love, you must wear the Head Mirror Headwear while you are completing challenges—you can pick that up in the Atomic Shop for free.



Each week, you’ll be collecting your instruments, preparing your materials and killing a bunch of Ghouls, Super Mutants and Robots. Complete the Daily Challenges from the first week and you’ll earn the fuchsia Dopamine Wallpaper that features the molecular structure of Dopamine, which is exactly one half of the formula for love. If you look at the reward for the second week of Challenges, the Study of Love Chalkboard, you’ll find the completed formula for love.

After two weeks, you’ll know so much about love (Oxytocin + Dopamine), that you’ll earn the Pink Heart Light, so you can shine a spotlight on your heart’s desire in your C.A.M.P.

Study the following formula to complete the event and earn your Pink Heart Light:

Formula: The Science of Love

• In week one, complete 5 of 7 Daily Challenges wearing the Head Mirror Headwear to earn consumables. (This will complete the Weekly Challenge.)
  
• Earn the Dopamine Wallpaper!
  
• In week two, repeat Step 1.
  
• Earn the Study of Love Chalkboard!
  
• Successfully complete both Weekly Challenges and you’ll have completed the event, The Science of Love!
  

The reward for all your hard work? The Pink Heart Light!
